The most terrifying thing is that you don't even recognize yourself

another movie with a supernatural ending.
However, due to the absence of the investigation process and other suspects, the plot is a little flat, and the logical relationship between what the lawyer does for the defense and its needs is not as straightforward as the police after all. In this regard, ordinary viewers like me , there should be a lot of questions like "Why do this", "What is needed", "Well is this good for us" and so on. It looks depleted.
The young man's pitiful eyes appeared, and all the evidence pointed to him, all of which led us to preconceived that there must be a hidden secret, and hoped that the lawyer could avenge him. Unexpectedly, I was put together with a lawyer in the end. When he smiled, I knew it was "finished". A person can control himself completely calmly at the juncture of life and death, not only his acting skills are outstanding, but his psychological quality is placed on the villain, which makes the scalp numb.
Of course, the logic of the plot is also a great pity. If the lawyer doesn't mind his own business and encounters a mediocre person, although there is a chance to turn things around, the risk will also increase a lot.

    The whole film is a bit like a simplified version of "The Usual Suspects", and even Edward Norton's character setting overlaps a bit with Kevin Spacey in "The Suspects". The entire investigation process is the most exciting part, highlighting the contradictions between the characters, making the plot quite predictable, especially the confrontation between Richard Gere and Laura Linney in court is very exciting, even if it seems that the last The reversal is quite cliché, but it does not affect its overall level.

    Subjective judgment is often biased, and objective facts are often ignored. This is Norton's debut, and Norton's wonderful acting skills can already be seen.
